Abstract

A product that includes a soft nonwoven web is disclosed. The nonwoven web includes a first fibrous layer made of a first composition and a second fibrous layer made of a second composition. The second composition is different from the first composition.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An article comprising:
 a liquid pervious layer;   a liquid impervious layer;   an absorbent core disposed between said liquid pervious layer and said liquid impervious layer; and   a nonwoven web comprising:
 at least a first layer of fibers that are made of a first composition comprising a first polyolefin, a second polyolefin, and a softness enhancer additive, wherein said second polyolefin is a propylene copolymer and wherein said second polyolefin is a different polyolefin than said first polyolefin; and 
   at least a second layer of fibers that are made of a second composition, wherein the Flexular Modulus of the second composition is greater than the Flexular Modulus of the first composition.   
     
     
         2 . The article of  claim 1  wherein said nonwoven web is present in said absorbent article such that said second layer of fibers is disposed between said first layer of fibers and said absorbent core 
     
     
         3 . The article of  claim 2  wherein the fibers of said first and said second layers are spunbond fibers. 
     
     
         4 . The article of  claim 1  wherein said nonwoven web comprises a plurality of calendering bonds that provide said nonwoven web with a first textured surface and a second surface opposite said first surface. 
     
     
         5 . The article of  claim 4  wherein said first layer of fibers is disposed at said first textured surface and said second layer of fibers is disposed at said second surface. 
     
     
         6 . The article of  claim 4  wherein said nonwoven web is joined to said impervious layer such that said second surface of said nonwoven web is disposed between a garment facing surface of said liquid impervious layer and said first textured surface of said nonwoven web. 
     
     
         7 . The absorbent article of  claim 1  wherein said first composition used to make said fibers of said first layer comprises between 5% and 25% of said second polyolefin and between 0.01% to 10% of softness enhancer additive by weight of said fibers. 
     
     
         8 . The article of  claim 1  wherein said nonwoven web comprises at least an intermediate fibrous layer present between said first and second fibrous layers wherein said intermediate fibrous layer comprises fibers that are made of a third composition. 
     
     
         9 . The article of  claim 8  wherein said third composition comprises less than 10% by weight of said third composition of a propylene copolymer. 
     
     
         10 . The article of  claim 8  wherein said third composition comprises more than 10% by weight of said third composition of a propylene copolymer. 
     
     
         11 . The article of  claim 1  wherein said softness enhancer additive comprises at least one of oleamide, erucamide, and or stearamide. 
     
     
         12 . The article of  claim 4  wherein said first layer of fibers is disposed at said second surface and said second layer of fibers is disposed at said first textured surface. 
     
     
         13 . The article of  claim 1  wherein each of said liquid impervious backsheet and said liquid pervious topsheet comprises a nonwoven web comprising at least a first layer of fibers that are made of a first composition comprising a first polyolefin, a second polyolefin, and a softness enhancer additive, wherein said second polyolefin is a propylene copolymer and wherein said second polyolefin is a different polyolefin than said first polyolefin and at least a second layer of fibers that are made of a second composition comprising less than 10% by weight of said second composition of a propylene copolymer and wherein said nonwoven web is present in said absorbent article such that said second layer of fibers is disposed between said first layer of fibers and said absorbent core. 
     
     
         14 . The article of  claim 1  wherein said liquid pervious layer comprises said nonwoven web such that said nonwoven web is disposed at a body facing surface of said article. 
     
     
         15 . The article of  claim 14  wherein said nonwoven web comprises a surfactant. 
     
     
         16 . The article of  claim 1  wherein said nonwoven web is joined to said liquid impervious layer such that said at least second layer of fibers is disposed between said at least first layer of fibers and said liquid impervious layer. 
     
     
         17 . The article of  claim 1  wherein said second composition comprises a polypropylene homopolymer in an amount greater than 80% by weight of said second composition. 
     
     
         18 . The article of  claim 14  comprising a second nonwoven web that comprises at least a first layer of fibers that are made of a first composition comprising a first polyolefin, a second polyolefin, and a softness enhancer additive, wherein said second polyolefin is a propylene copolymer and wherein said second polyolefin is a different polyolefin than said first polyolefin and at least a second layer of fibers that are made of a second composition comprising less than 10% by weight of said second composition of a propylene copolymer, and wherein said second nonwoven web is present in said absorbent article such that said second layer of spunbond fibers of said second nonwoven web is disposed between said first layer of spunbond fibers of said second nonwoven web and said absorbent core. 
     
     
         19 . The article of  claim 18  wherein said second nonwoven web is joined to said liquid impervious layer such that said at least second layer of fibers of said second nonwoven web is disposed between said at least first layer of fibers and said liquid impervious layer. 
     
     
         20 . The article of  claim 18  wherein said liquid impervious layer comprises a film and said at least second layer of fibers of said second nonwoven web is joined to said film with an adhesive.
